That character is a 13-year-old boy who is not only a drug dealer, but also one who has killed two public safety officers.  Sunday’s SportsCenter tweet stated, “…

Where’s Waldo? No, where’s LeBron James? The legend in his own mind disappeared early again Sunday after -- or during -- the sound thrashing the Lakers took from New Orleans. He could not be found on the court as the game was ending, which has become a trend for the game’s so-called GOAT and the team’s so-called leader.  The captain among NBA all-stars, James walked off the court Sunday in the…

Among them are professional tennis, hockey, skiing, soccer and the International Olympic Committee.

This year’s Daytona 500 served up yet another embarrassment for the NBA, smashing the league’s all-star game in the television ratings. Television viewers preferred NASCAR racing by a whopping 41-percent margin over the NBA all-star game, according to Michael Mulvihill, an executive vice-president for Fox Sports.  That’s the largest gap between the two sporting events in five years, Mulvihill…

“Team LGBTQ” did remarkably well in the 2022 Winter Olympics, SBNation Outsports reports. Did you even know there was a “Team LGBTQ?” Well, it exists only in the imaginative minds of Outsports, the blog dedicated to celebrating homosexuality and gender confusion. It’s a mythical team of alphabet soup athletes that won enough medals to allegedly have finished 12th in the final medal count. Cyd…

If anyone still needs persuading that LeBron (alias “LeWoke”) James is practically running the NBA, his latest power-broking remarks should sway your thinking in that direction. The man with an ego the size of Saturn has given the league an ultimatum that he will only play wherever his son Bronny plays three seasons from now.
